About Erika

Erika Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience in mental health care. She has spent much of her career working with people experiencing homelessness, youth, and those facing severe mental health challenges, and she brings that background to a broad practice in Texas.

Background and approach

Erika combines practical skill with personal insight to help clients navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her approach centers on respect and compassion while offering concrete tools clients can use between sessions.

Erika draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy among other methods to create sessions that are both supportive and appropriately challenging. Comfortable working with neurodiverse clients and LGBTQ people, she aims to help clients move toward growth, clearer goals, and improved daily coping.

Many who work with her note an emphasis on actionable strategies alongside empathetic listening so each session leaves space for practical change and emotional relief.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Erika frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and day-to-day functioning. CBT is goal-oriented and often includes skill-building that can be practiced between sessions. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are central concerns; DBT offers concrete tools for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Erika works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and then tailors methods so clients feel the approach fits their needs. Over time she adjusts techniques based on what is most helpful, keeping the client involved in decisions about treatment direction.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which expand access and scheduling flexibility. These formats let clients maintain continuity of care from different locations and fit sessions into busy lives while still engaging in structured, evidence-informed work with a licensed professional.
